Chapter 46 The Powerful Photographer and the Weak Substitute 8

The girl's eyes were filled with excitement as she bent over gratefully. Her slightly exposed collarbone was so white and beautiful, like jade inlay. It was so beautiful that he held the spoon tightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I agree!"

Lin Muqing thought of the fact that Xi Chenmu had wine houses in many cities. On the surface, they were wine houses, but in reality they were places for collecting information and providing news on officials for his other industry.

Should she use her skills to win over some officials with picky tastes?

Xi Chenmu drank the porridge neither hurriedly nor slowly, and every movement was elegant and pleasing to the eye.

Lin Muqing didn't get the order to leave, so she stood aside. It was inevitable that her eyes fell on his high and superior nose and profile. It was true that all the male protagonists were handsome.

Of course, I didn't dare to look at it for too long, so I lowered my head and served the dishes silently.

Xi Chenmu was usually the one who could keep his composure, but when she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, he suddenly... wanted to say something.

"Did you eat?"

"Your Highness, not yet."

"Well, let Yun Yi in, you can go back."

Lin Muqing blinked and took a step back, "Thank you, Prince."

Then went out.

When Yun Yi came in, Xi Chenmu was still having his meal.

"Your Majesty, everything you requested has been arranged."

"Um."

After he finished eating, he prepared to go to court.

Yun Yi followed the prince into the palace, wondering in his heart, why was Miss Lin arranged to live in the restaurant?

…

Lin Muqing thought that Xi Chenmu wanted to build a wine house and had a lot of things to do, so he just told her in advance and it wouldn't happen so quickly.

As a result, in the afternoon, housekeeper Liu brought a neatly dressed woman to the kitchen to find her.

"Ms. Lin, this is my wife, just call her Aunt Liu. If you have any questions when you go to the restaurant, just ask her."

"Okay, Aunt Liu."

Aunt Liu looked to be forty years old, with three-dimensional facial features, but her skin was in bad condition and she looked old from the weather. She looked at Lin Muqing with a smile in her eyes.

"This girl is so pretty. Go change your clothes and go out with Aunt Liu."

Lin Muqing obediently went back and changed into a set of simple clothes. These clothes were originally given to her by the housekeeper. They were maid clothes of ordinary families, but the Prince Mu's Mansion was not short of money, and the fabrics used were of the best quality. Even though the style was ordinary, it did not look shabby when worn.

On the way.

Seeing that she was silent, Aunt Liu said earnestly, "We are all working for the prince. The restaurant is full of women like me who have some skills. If you are brave enough, they will learn quickly. Don't be afraid. The prince will not treat you unfairly. He is a man who values ​​talent."

Lin Muqing was originally wondering whether the candied haws she had just passed by were delicious. When she came to her senses, she heard a lot of words. Her unfamiliarity with Aunt Liu subsided a little, and she smiled sweetly at her.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu, for your advice."

Glancing ahead, she was surprised that they were all women.

The wine house was newly built in the most prosperous place of the imperial city. The magnificent building has four floors and is surrounded by spacious grounds. Pavilions, terraces, halls and corridors all serve as entertainment areas in the wine house.

Very luxurious.

Lin Muqing had seen this a lot, so he just calmly followed Aunt Liu into the kitchen.

Aunt Liu thought she was frightened and didn't even dare to look to the side. Old Liu asked her to take good care of it, so she was very patient and said, "This place only caters to women. It will be open in half a month. Miss Lin, please teach us one or two dishes that are good at cooking and that women will like."

"I will definitely not let Aunt Liu down." She was a little curious about what Xi Chenmu had done to make them treat her, an orphan, so peacefully.

Is it just a restaurant that specially caters to ladies?

Lin Muqing thought that it wasn’t written in the plot.

[Everyone, in the plot, does the male protagonist open a restaurant that specifically entertains women? ]

The system always answers questions, so I quickly searched for it. [No, but he opened a foreign restaurant that was famous in the imperial city. The hero traveled around the world and went out often, so he knew countless things. He might have just had the idea on a whim and done it! The hero's favorability is now 45, keep it up.]

"Yeah, thank you." The reason why Lin Muqing was so motivated was because he had a heartwarming system.

Forty-five favorability?

That is, 450,000 in reality is equivalent to a month's salary of 450,000 for cooking?

That's not a loss.

Aunt Liu took her to the back kitchen.

Ten women in aprons were standing in the back kitchen.

"Sister Liu, you're here." Some of them looked curious, some were talking and laughing, and there was nothing strange in their eyes when they looked at Lin Muqing.

"This girl was specially found by the adults so that everyone can learn some unique secret recipes. Learn it well."

Lin Muqing took the initiative to talk to them and asked their names to facilitate communication later.

She looked at the prepared dishes and thought that the fish here were all cooked with strong flavors, so she started by teaching how to steam the fish.

"For fish, it is best to soak it in scallion and ginger water for half an incense stick of time. This can remove all the fishy smell and make the fish meat more tender..."

The women had never heard of this before and stared at the yellow croaker in her hand in confusion.

"This is the sauce I made. It has these five spices and black mushrooms. It's boiled to this consistency..."

Everyone learns and follows along.

Aunt Liu's cooking was not bad, but not delicious enough to win the prince's praise, because the prince was used to eating delicious food and had a very picky taste. It was impossible for a woman like her who had never even left the imperial city to do that.

After Lin Muqing's fish was steamed, it was drizzled with fish sauce that had been simmered for a long time, sprinkled with shredded green onions and chili peppers, and poured with a circle of hot oil.

The fragrance instantly penetrates into my nostrils.

Aunt Xu took a sip and closed her eyes: "It smells so good. Miss Lin's method is complicated, but it smells so good."

Aunt Liu decided to let them each have a taste.

On the kitchen counter, a person was holding a plate and chopsticks, and his eyes lit up after taking a bite of the fish.

“All the earthy smell of the fish is gone.”

"This sauce... oh, I can't read, so I can't even describe it, but it smells so good..."

"It's so delicious. Miss Lin, do you have any other tricks?"

"If you have any, please tell us!"

"You are honored. You can try to do it yourself now." Lin Muqing spoke in a humble voice, with a gentle smile, and bent down to talk to others in a low and patient voice.

At first, the women thought he was difficult to please, but now they began to learn from him with confidence.

All the fish in the kitchen were slaughtered.

Lin Muqing spent the entire afternoon teaching them how to make steamed fish. If each person can cook one dish, then they will have ten signature dishes.

…

When the sun is about to set.

Aunt Liu took her back to the palace and said, "Miss Lin, I will take you out tomorrow after the prince has finished his breakfast, and come back at noon to make lunch for the prince."

As if she was afraid that she would worry about the arrangements in the mansion, Aunt Liu added: "These are all ordered by the prince, just do it."

Lin Muqing appreciated her kindness and said, "Okay, Aunt Liu, take care."

She had been in the mansion for a month and was already familiar with the route.

Quickly go to the kitchen.

"Miss Lin, this is the fish soup and beef that the prince specifically requested tonight. I've prepared it for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu." Lin Muqing moved quickly and finished the dish before the sun set.

After the dishes were served, she could finally go back to her room. She had been in the kitchen the whole day and was reeking of cooking fumes, which was so strong that it made her dizzy. She immediately ran to get some hot water.
